4 VIRGINIA GIRL CREATES A SENSATION
Washington Post, 10Th. ]


A Virginia girl has made an I'M
canny sensation in Boston this week
and for the second time. Her ca.
reer of evil and her success as a
tibet are astonishing, even in these
days when most forms of fraud are
familiar.
Sarah G.. Chase was born in AL
exandria in 1926. She has been
twice married and her present name
is Howe. Ten years ago Sarah
Howe, having attained some repu.
tation as al earnest advocate of
woman's rights, publicly insisted
that women we're ust as well fitted
for most kinds o. business as men
and to illustrate her great theory
she started a woman's bank in Bos.
ton in a central location with
grand flourish of trumpets.
In her circular she declared that
she would do business with women
only, and that she would pay them
eight per cent. per month for all
money deposited with her. In
few instances and for a short time
she actually paid this enormous in
terest. Women rushed to her bank
by the hundred. They lent her all
they had induced their relations
to lend her all they had aud Dor.
rowed all they could Of friends
For two years her "success" was
immense-that is, she took in a
great deal of money. In 1880 she
had 5000, 900 on deposit. Then the
newspapers attacked the "bank,"
but Mrs. Howe paid out, in three
months 100000 of principal and
s130, 900 ofinterest, calculated at 90
per cent. year Then the bottom
dropped out. The shank" closed
its doors, and Mrs. Howe was tried,
pleaded guilty, and was sent to the
House OF Correction for three years.
There we're 8l9 "depositors."
The saddest part of the story is
that just now developed. On es-
Gaping from Imprisonment Mrs.
Howe boldly re established her
shank, . offering 7 per cent. month,
and she found the same gullible
crowd of financial idiots awaiting
her. Scores and hundreds Of wo.
men again sought her and deposit
ed their money. In few cases she
kept her promises; the Others she
put off. On Wednesday she closed
the "bank,' removed all her things,
and vanished to parts unknown
with $4,000. 1t is enough to lust
ify any amount of cynicism-the
readiness with which hundreds OF
women rushed into the trap aud left
their money with this swIndler.

For years the burial place of the
remains of the great President has
been kept a secret from anxiety

huge ransom for their return
The actual attempt to carry off the
bodies in 1876 was the moving
cause of the formation Ofthe Guard

taken to keep the event of this
morning a profound secret. At
the appointed hour few besides the

While the remains of Mr. Lincoln
we're exposed to view Gen. Reese,
president of the guard Of honor,

A RIVER ON FIRE.
NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD
LOSE $4,000 WORTH OF
PROPERTY.

NEW YORK, April 1G.-A terri.
BILE fire waged this morning on the
property of the New York Central
and Hudson River Railroad, at
Seventeen street and the Hudson
river. About 1890 a large oil tank
on one of the docks exploded with
a great noise. The oil caught fire
and spread all over the place, ignit-
ing everything with which 1t came
IN contact, several heavily laden
barges mo0red at the dock took
fire instantly. Three alarms and
several special calls summoned a
big section of the fire department
to the scene, including all the fire
boats. The burning barges, or as
many of them as could be reached,
we're towed out into the river. a
Standard oil pipe burst at Seven
tieth street and the North rlver.
Goals from lighter set fire to the
oil, and at noon the fire
had destroyed freight-pier 9, the
coal dock, half a dozen lighters,
the barge Baltimore, and the crib
work from Sixty.seventh to Seven
ty.third street. The scene was one
never equalled in the history of
fire fighting in tins city. A late
report places the loss at 5000, 900,
ali owned by the New York Cen
trail Railroad Company.

A FAVORITE ARGUMENT.
From N. Y. Sun DEM

a favOrite argument in favor OF
a second term OF Mr.. Cleveland
seems to be that ali Cleveland can't
he elected. nobody else can" This
may be called an argument OF de-
SPAR. Have Mr. Cleveland's ser.
vices to the Democratic party been
so great, has it thriven so under
his Administration, that he is in
dispensible to it, 1t would he
most discreditable to a party with
a history of nearly hundred years
to be dependent upon a man whom
it has known for less than five;
but fortunately the destiny OF the
Democratic party is not bound up
in the destiny of any one man, even
if he be Man of Destiny. The
Democrats are not restricted to
Dir. Cleveland. His distinction
among the public men in the party
who are likely to be considered
when the choice of candidate is
made, is that OF them all he can
get the least votes. If he can be
elected, anybody can.
But it would be a confession OF
weakness not to nominate him, the
timid say. Nonsense. The fatal
confession of weakness would be to
put up a candidate fatally weak.
lie got in by accident which is not
likely to be repeated. The Opposl-
ton to him in his own party, and
the opposition of labor men, would
be repeated and nightly increased
if he should run again.
IL seems TO be the desire Of the
labor party to smash the DemOcra-
cy before smashing the Republi-
cans. There is no necessity that
the Democrats should help them IN
that amlable desire. If a man who
couldn't get any Of the labor vote,
and who would lose much of the
normal Democratic vote is wanted,
Mr.. Cleveland is the man.

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT.

PALATINE, ILL.,, April H.
While viewing the wreck of a
freight train on the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad, near this
city, today, six persons we're killed
by the bursting of a large water
tank.
The accident occurred at 5O'clock
this afternoon, and it is supposed
that the collision of the freight
trains in the immediate vicinity in
the morning had Jared the i'm
mense tank, containing one hun.
dred thousand gallons of water,
and loosened or cracked the hoops,
which gave way while a large
crowd of country people were
standing Immediately under the
structure, when it collapsed and
fell, burying the people under the
wreckage and water. Two boys
and four men we're killed outright.
Two other men were fatally injured
and a number seriously injured.
The tank was a huge affair, con-
structed of upright oak planks,
twenty.four feet long and four
inches thick. While the crowd
were gasping at the wreckers, a
sharp crack was heard above, and
the people scattered in all direc-
tions. Nothing further happening,
thecrowd again gathered. Suddenly
without further warning the great
iron hoops holding the timbers in
place burst simultaneously. The
flooring and supports remained
intact, but the rest of the structure
end it's burden of water was pro
iected in all directions upon the
people below crushing and smooth
ering them horribly. An eye
witness says that had the accident
occurred earlier in the afternoon,
when the crowd was thick, it would
certainly have resulted in the loss
of half q hundred lives.

.Messrs. EditOrs-I wish to have a
say concerning the issues of prohi-
bition az set forth in the Observer Of
March 90, by the Rev. Geo. T. Lyle,
he says: "One trouble, | feel is, pro-
hibition increases the burden of gov
eminent requires an increase ofpo-
lice force )" and then he mentions
the education of children whose
parents are too inefficient to provide
for them.D / wonder if most of that
does not come from liquor drink

/ ask does prohibition burden the
government ; for answer the Ma
tional Sunday School Teacher says :
'For twenty years there has been
no place IN Edwards county, ILL.,,
where intoxicants could be obtain
ed as a beverage. The taxes are
thirty.three per cent. lower than in
any other county in the state. From

large, foots a poor bill of $4,000"
In my town with license it was
frequently necessary, on public oc-
casions, to appoint special police,
but with no license it has never, to
my knowlenge, been necessary.

The Legislature adjourned last
week to meet again on the 9th
inst, the interim to be occupied by
the conference with the DOndhOld.
ers' commissioners.
1t is thought that by the latter
part Of this month some basis Of
settlement may be reached, and
the Legislature is to reasonable to
take such action in the premises as
may be necessary.
If any other settlement is to be
effected than that prescribed in the
Riddleberger bill, which has been
ratified by the whole people Of the
State, the Legislature had better
60 slow in passing laws to confirm
and establish it.
According to our view and un.
Outstanding, any member of the
present General Assembly who
votes for a settlement, not within
the scope and purview of the Rid
dleberger bill, votes against the
express and direct instruction of
his constituents, and with the
certainty that his action will be
disapproved and repudiated by bis
constituency.
If a settlement IN accordance
with the provisions of that bill and
so plainly contOrmed to it as to
prevent misrepresentation or I'M
certainty, can be made, we shall
be glad and Will be among the first
to say well done. To make any
other is not only to 60 counter to
the voice of the people, but to con.
vict all parties in the State of
fraudulent representation and de-
sigu, since all have affirmed that
the debt as fixed by this bill is the
true and honest debt of the State.
TO give more than this amount is,
therefore, TO defraud the State to
give less is TO defraud the creditor.
More than this if the Democratic
majority in the General Assembly
consents to 90 beyond the limits
and restrictions of the Riddleber-
ger bill such action would 90 very
far toward creating the suspicion,
if it has not already existed, that
their profession of loyalty to this
bill so often and so vehemently
affirmed, was merely dodge to
gain time, and feint movement in
the interest Of the bondholder and
for the purpose of finally carrying
into effect the views for which they
80 long contended.-Pdge Courier.
